Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) disclosed that cyberattacks targeting ICS (industrial control systems) and public infrastructure escalated sharply through 2024 and 2025, with several incidents coming close to causing real-world disruption to essential services. In its newly published annual report, the agency identified that water treatment facilities in Jabłonna Lacka, Szczytno, Małdyty, Tolkmicko, and Sierakowo were breached during 2025. Investigators found that attackers gained access to the operational systems that control water treatment processes, systems designed to ensure the safe delivery of water to local communities.
